Uhhh, yeah, Bookworm, I kinda made the Doctor Who fan thread here, and I just listed off some previous Doctors by their number and the actor who played them. Suffice to say I know the Doctor's story.

The point is, the Daleks as creatures are not frightening. In their first appearance, they were defeated by magnets. Regardless of what they'd done, they still look like tin cans with a plunger and an egg beater tied to them. They're not scary. Maybe if they went around as the gooey blobs of DNA that's inside the tin can, they'd be scary.
